Two classic Beatles albums compared plus The Kinks celebrate the English past, Van Morrison makes his best album and Nico gets really, really dark and weird. Then, Brian Eno departs Roxy Music but it's not that bad, Billy Joel makes a record I actually kind of like, Bruce Springsteen gets an R&B makeover and ELP make their best record, I guess.
